four year itch

This exhibition is very small, and it can be seen that it is all students' works, with the novelty and vitality of students, but there are also some roughness unique to students.Ye Jia looked at them one by one, but couldn't fully understand the meaning, he just watched with an almost pious mood.

Xu Ruibai had already visited it before, so he wasn't very interested. He just walked behind Ye Jia casually, sometimes taking out his mobile phone to reply to a message.

"Are there any works of yours here?" Ye Jia asked curiously.

"No."

"Why didn't you participate?" Ye Jia asked again.

"No time." Xu Ruibai replied honestly, "There is still a mentor's project to do."

"Yeah." Ye Jia felt a little pity in her heart, but in the next second she began to look around for Yu Yi's work, "Where is Yu Yi's work? Why didn't I see it?"

"Not in this hall, you can read this first, and then I will take you there." Xu Ruibai said.

Ye Jia nodded obediently.

Yu Yi's work is a building with a sense of design. It is a column shape piled up with pictures, and the name of the work is written on the small label next to it: "Hunger City".If you look carefully, you will find that Yu Yi's painting skills are very good, the characters are clean and neat, and the colors are very bold. He especially likes to use colors with high saturation, but there is no sense of disharmony and clutter. Instead, he has his own style, and the whole work is very attractive. eye.

"This painting is... a cat and a little girl?" Ye Jia looked and looked, but still couldn't see what kind of story was being told, and turned to ask Xu Ruibai annoyedly.

Xu Ruibai nodded, pointed to the first floor and began to explain to Ye Jia: "This is a hungry city where food is scarce. The first floor is where the little girl rescued many cats and kept them in the attic. The second floor is where the little girl Saved a little boy who was about to starve to death on the side of the road, but the little boy secretly stole all the food saved by the little girl. On the third floor, a man tripped the little boy and stole all the food. The fourth It was the cat who was too hungry and jumped up and ate the little girl."

"So, this is a depressing little story?" Ye Jia blinked and asked in confusion.

"right."

Ye Jia did not understand the work because of Xu Ruibai's explanation, but was even more confused: "Cats, little girls, little boys, adults. What do these represent? What is the theme?"

Xu Ruibai smiled and said: "There is no theme, this is just an assignment, as long as you draw well, you can get high marks. Yu Yi's drawing skills are very good, so he was selected to participate in this exhibition."

Ye Jia nodded in agreement, then turned around and looked at the work carefully.

"Let's go, there are still two halls, I'll take you to dinner after watching." Xu Ruibai has already walked towards the door.

Ye Jia seemed to be talking to himself, "If it were me, I would let that man keep a cat."

"What?" Xu Ruibai didn't hear clearly.

"I said that if I were to rewrite this little story, on the first floor I would have this man save a hungry little boy on the side of the road and put him in the attic where there was a cat. On the second floor the boy stole After taking all the food the man saved, he jumped down to the attic. The cat in the attic smelled the food and jumped down with the little boy. On the third floor, the little girl tripped the little boy and snatched all the food, and the cat followed the little girl. The little girl thought that the cat was too hungry, so she kindly gave it some food. On the fourth floor, the cat followed the little girl to meow, and as a result, more hungry cats of the same kind were attracted, and they ate the little girl together." Ye Jia told the adaptation story in his head in one breath.

Xu Ruibai asked with interest: "So it's the weak who prey on the strong?"

"Well, but the predators are not without humanity, although they eventually died from the remaining humanity." Ye Jia added.

"It's very interesting, but how do you deal with the relationship between the man and the cat?" Xu Ruibai immediately pointed out the loophole in the plot.

"If all the members are wicked, then the purpose of raising cats should not be pure."

Ye Jia, who was immersed in the story, frowned and bit her lips subconsciously, causing her fair face to slightly puff up to one side. Her beautiful big eyes were fixed on the work in front of her. It was obviously a meaningless work. And there will be no following story, but it can make him think very seriously.

— Strawberry flavor?apple flavor?Or peach flavor?It seems neither.

——His pheromone should be a very cute smell.

"Cute", when the word flashed through his mind, Xu Ruibai was also taken aback.

Xu Ruibai never thought any Omega was cute, to be precise, he never even gave any Omega a positive comment.

Since the closet when he was five years old, he has hated this group from the bottom of his heart and disdain to be with them. Omega is weak and brainless, can be in heat anywhere, poorly dominated by instinct.

When he learned that Ye Jia was also an Omega, Xu Ruibai admitted that he was a little disappointed, and even subconsciously didn't want to get close.Suppressing his disgust has long been handy for Xu Ruibai, and he has been prepared to endure it from the beginning.

It's just that everything seems to be slowly getting out of his control.

Finally, we had dinner in the cafeteria.As expected, the food in the cafeteria was really not that good, Ye Jia stuck out his tongue and ate the food cleanly.

Happy days always go by faster, obviously nothing to talk about, nothing to do before it is already evening.Ye Jia bought a red-eye flight at eleven o'clock. The school is not close to the airport, and the bus transfer to the subway is also a bit troublesome.He rejected Xu Ruibai's suggestion to send him there, and Xu Ruibai was not persistent and sent him to the bus stop.

They stood silently, the street lamp was already on, moths cast gray shadows around the lamp, the night was gentle, the evening breeze was cool, Xia Chan was a little tired from screaming, and there were two or two students behind him playing back and forth.

There was the cool smell of cedar and the transparent heat that enlivened his skin, and he didn't know how to resist these unseen things.

Ye Jia swallowed lightly, his throat was dry, he wanted to find something to talk about, but in the end he remained silent.

"The car is here." Xu Ruibai softly broke the silence between the two, as if reading the conclusion of the meeting.

Route 103 is slowly approaching.

"Well, you can go back." Ye Jia replied obediently.

Road 103 stopped in front of them.

"Be careful on the road, send me a message at the airport." At the last moment, Xu Ruibai still maintained his demeanor.

"it is good."

Ye Jia took a step forward, but suddenly turned around and hugged Xu Ruibai in the next second.

The fragrance is tangy, like a white rose that is faintly visible through the mist under the moonlight, and the buds are trembling slightly, full of shyness in budding.

——It turns out that it smells like roses.

——It's really...not a cute taste at all.

Xu Ruibai's body stiffened for a moment, and suddenly he laughed again, and patted his back comfortingly, "Okay, let's get in the car."

A farewell hug should not exceed three seconds.

This is just a fan's reluctance to idols.

Ye Jia jumped on the bus and saw Xu Ruibai walking away from the platform through the window until he disappeared into the darkness.

Is this farewell?

Going back to a place thousands of miles away from Xu Ruibai, honestly staying in his original position, living the same boring life, looking forward to Xu Ruibai coming to him every day to say a few innocuous greetings, but it will only take a few days Xu Ruibai would forget his own face and what he had said to him.And once he graduates, he has to leave this industry, and he and Xu Ruibai will gradually drift away. Maybe there will be some contacts at first, but they will always be forgotten after a long time. After a few years, maybe even he himself will He felt that this was just a beautiful encounter in his fantasy, and when he woke up from the dream, life continued, and he was still the same Ye Jia who lived a mechanical life and was tamed.

Thinking of this, Ye Jia couldn't breathe, the vicissitudes of life in the earphones were still singing,

"I traveled across the ocean to see you. For this reunion, I even practiced my breathing when we met. Words have never been able to express one ten-millionth of my affection..."

Ye Jia felt wetness on his face, thought it was sweat, and reached out to wipe it off, but found that he had already shed tears unconsciously.

He doesn't want this ending.

Even Ye Jia himself felt strange that a person whom he had only met once could make himself have such a strong will.

At that time, he didn't even know what kind of relationship it was, but he was led to make a choice step by step.

"Sir...Sir!" An unfamiliar voice pulled him back to reality, Ye Jia opened his heavy eyelids, his mind was still groggy, and he hadn't realized where he was in the moment.

"Sir, you have arrived." The taxi driver kindly reminded.

Ye Jia straightened up abruptly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how much is it, I'll scan the QR code on WeChat."

"28 yuan, young man, I think you are a little weak, are you feeling unwell? Shall I drive you to the hospital?" The taxi driver was also kind-hearted.

"No, thank you, the money has been transferred, please take a look."

When I got out of the car, I realized that the sun was already shining, which is a rare good weather.The cold wind blowing in made Ye Jia sober up a lot, and he also realized more clearly that that sweltering summer night was an illusion buried deep in his memory, with countless layers of time filters added. The reality was already a bitter winter, and he still unwilling to wake up.

Ye Jia was about to go upstairs when the WeChat phone rang suddenly, it was Chen Lang.Ye Jia picked up the phone suspiciously, and Chen Lang's unusually energetic voice came out immediately: "Xiao Jia!"

"Well, what's the matter?" Ye Jia replied in a low voice.

"Did I bother you?" Chen Lang probably heard Ye Jia's voice weak, and explained apologetically, "I sent you a message, but you haven't replied."

"No, what's the matter?"

"Oh, I'm moving to a new house today, do you want to come to my house for dinner!" The other party's voice returned to enthusiasm.

"I?"

"That's right, we're moving to a new house. There's not much popularity at home, so we invited some good friends who usually play together to warm up the house."

Ye Jia was full of question marks, when did he and Chen Lang become better friends?But I have only met once, this person is too familiar, right?

"I'll let it go." Ye Jia refused without thinking.

"Come on, didn't we agree?!" Chen Lang's tone seemed to be coquettish, but suddenly he seemed to have a sudden realization, "Hey, does Xiao Jia want to make an appointment with me alone?"

"I didn't..." He thought the other party was just saying it casually, so he just answered casually, but he didn't expect the other party to be a serious master.

"Then why don't you come and play with us? Let's make it lively." Chen Lang took advantage of the victory and pursued.

If you don't agree, you may be entangled again. Ye Jia is really tired, and he has lost even the strength to push back. Compromise is the best choice right now.At worst, I will come back after staying for a while, he thought, and said, "Okay..."
